How To Make Horns With Just Cardboard and Hot Glue

Horns are a handy cosplay accessory to have in your toolkit.

"In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case, when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those that were really tenable" - Ada Lovelace
